In the better late than never department, there was a press release from a company called VFO, who baught Freedom Scientific and Optelec some years ago. This press release entitled: Ai Squared joins VFO, home of Freedom Scientific and Optelec which was released on June 14, 2016 has got people speculating about Window-Eyes and Magic leaving the market. As a long time Window-Eyes user, GW Micro’s division of AI Squared has not said anything confirming this, and my source indicated to me that Freedom Scientific said there were no major changes right now. Someone indicated to me through text message on Tuesday that Window-Eyes and Magic will be leaving, and I have not seen anything since. As with the Serotek making changes, podcasts are unknown (June 2014) and serotek update: the truth hurts (December 2014) nothing much has happened with the company. Yolu can even search the blog for AI squared coverage and find some posts I’ve published in regards to AI Squared’s commitment to Window-Eyes aas a flagship product and the Microsoft Office version. If I hear anything else, I’ll be sure to let you know.

There may be others, but this is some of what I’ve covered. Lets keep our eyes and ears open, depending on how you use your PC, and I’ll be giving my initial thoughts before i read the press release Tuesday evening in podcast 247. Thanks for reading!
